MK_ALLEVT ftools.rosat MK_ALLEVT
NAME
mk_allevt -- combines the standard and rejected events tables of an
RDF file
USAGE
mk_allevt
DESCRIPTION
This script will combine the accepted and rejected events tables in
an RDF basic file (*_bas.fits) to make an all events table and
figure out a corresponding GTI table using the RDF ancillary file
(*_anc.fits). You may want to name your output with the extension
_abas.fits.
You may specify the input and output files on the command line:
>mk_allevt xxx_bas.fits xxx_anc.fits xxx_abas.fits
You can also say:
>mk_allevt xxx_bas%
to specify the default extensions (i.e. xxx_bas.fits, xxx_anc.fits
and xxx_abas.fits). A ! preceeding the output filename will force
overwriting as usual. (Remember to use \! if you are typing on
the command line). The program will prompt you for filenames if any
are missing or confusing. So you can also just type:
>mk_allevt
and answer the questions. This is actually the preferred method of
running the script.
FLAGS
-v Verbose mode. Prints informative messages and the output from
some ftools calls.
-(no)sort Requires (supresses) sorting of the output events
extension by photon arrival time.
-h Prints help message.
WARNINGS ON USAGE
Note: This is a perl script which runs the FTOOLS: MAKETIME, FMERGE,
FEXTRACT, FAPPEND and various FUTIL routines. You must have perl
installed at your site to run this.
